Achieve Emotional Balance with Dialectical Behavior Therapy At Good Company Counseling and Coaching, we strive to provide effective and compassionate mental health care. One of the evidence-based treatments we offer is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a powerful approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges.
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy? DBT is a structured therapeutic approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective in helping individuals with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety, depression, and self-harm behaviors.
How DBT Works:
- Mindfulness: DBT teaches you how to stay present in the moment, increasing your awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment.
- Distress Tolerance: You’ll learn skills to cope with and manage distressing situations more effectively, without resorting to harmful behaviors.
- Emotion Regulation: DBT helps you understand and manage intense emotions, leading to greater emotional stability and resilience.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: You’ll develop strategies for improving your relationships, learning how to communicate more effectively and assertively while maintaining self-respect.
Why Choose DBT?
- Proven Effectiveness: DBT has a strong evidence base for treating a range of emotional and behavioral disorders.
- Practical Skills: DBT provides concrete skills that you can use in your daily life to manage emotions and improve your relationships.
- Balanced Approach: By combining acceptance and change, DBT helps you build a life worth living, even in the face of challenges.
